Two gunmen, suspected to be robbers, have attacked mobile money vendors at Kukuwazugu at Walewale in the North East Region.
The gunmen arrived on a motorbike Friday evening and fired indiscriminately before targeting two mobile money vendors after initially mistaking one of their targets for a lotto operator who was seated nearby.Â
A witness told JoyNews the suspected robbers covered their face with masks and wielded an Ak47 weapon.
